Presentation: PowerPoint

Problem 1

In this section, you will learn how to create a simple presentation in Power Point.

PowerPoint presentations work like slide shows. To convey a message or a story, you break it down into slides. Think of each slide as a blank canvas for the pictures and words that help you tell your story. Basic tasks for creating a PowerPoint presentation are very easy. Creating presentation we will focus on the followings:

  • includes a title slide with a catchy title, your name and the name of the BA program
  • all subsequent slides should include your name and the current date in a footer
  • choose subdued background colours and fonts.
